Error Log
Fetches Finxact errLog records — each entry captures one error that occurred during a scheduled Finxact Core process (batch posting, interest calculation, statement generation, fee assessment, etc.). Records include the process name, error name, description, timestamp when the error occurred, structured root-cause detail entries, and free-form key/values pinpointing the failing entity (batch ID, account ID, product ID). Use this input to feed your SIEM, correlate platform failures with the API calls that triggered them, monitor backend job health, and surface compliance-relevant processing errors.
Sync Type: Incremental
Prerequisites
- A provisioned Finxact tenant with access to the Finxact Console.
- Production:
https://console.finxact.io - Sandbox:
https://console-sandbox-server.dev-<pool>.finxact.io(e.g.dev-10).
- Production:
- An API client registered under the tenant with a role that grants read access to the
errLogresource. - The tenant subdomain (e.g.
acmebank) and, for non-production tenants, the environment pool suffix (e.g.dev-10). - The Monad worker's egress IP address must be added to the Finxact tenant's IP allowlist (or reachable via the required VPN). Finxact enforces network-level access control on the core-banking API — see Networking below.
Obtain credentials in the Finxact Console
- Sign in to the Finxact Console at
https://console.finxact.io(production) orhttps://console-sandbox-server.dev-<pool>.finxact.io(sandbox). - Navigate to Settings → API Clients.
- Create a new API client (or select an existing one dedicated to Monad).
- Assign the client a role that grants read permission on the
errLogresource. - Copy the generated Client ID and Secret — the secret is shown once at creation time.
- Note the tenant subdomain (e.g.
acmebank) and, for non-production, the environment pool (e.g.dev-10). Together they form the base URL:https://<tenant>.<pool>.finxact.io(sandbox) orhttps://<tenant>.finxact.io(production).
Configuration
Settings
| Setting | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tenant | string | Yes | Finxact tenant subdomain (e.g. acmebank). Forms the base URL host. |
| Environment Pool | string | No | Environment pool suffix (e.g. dev-10 for sandbox). Leave empty for production. |
| User Roles | array of strings | Yes | At least one role must grant read access to errLog. |
| Client ID | string | Yes | Tenant API client_id, sent as the client_id HTTP header. |
| Backfill Start Time | string | No | ISO-8601 timestamp for the first sync (e.g. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z). Leave empty to start from now (no historical backfill). Subsequent syncs are incremental and ignore this value. |
| Use Synthetic Data | bool | No | Generate synthetic demo records instead of connecting to Finxact. Useful for pipeline testing. |
Secrets
| Secret | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Client Secret | string | Yes | Tenant API client secret, sent as the secret HTTP header. |
Networking
Finxact enforces network-level access control on the core-banking API. If the Monad worker cannot reach the tenant, or its egress IP is not on the allowlist, requests fail with HTTP 403 Forbidden. To resolve:
- Identify the Monad worker's egress IP.
- For Monad SaaS: see Monad egress IP addresses.
- For self-hosted deployments: use your own cluster's outbound IP.
- Add that IP to your Finxact tenant's allowlist via the Finxact Console (or coordinate with your Finxact deployment engineer).
- If your tenant sits behind a required VPN, ensure the Monad worker is on the VPN.
Troubleshooting
finxact authentication failed — verify client_id/secret and that the configured user role has read access to errLog (HTTP 401)
The client_id / secret are wrong, or the role listed in User Roles does not grant read on errLog. Regenerate credentials in the Finxact Console and confirm the assigned role covers errLog read.
finxact rejected the request at the network layer — the Monad runner egress IP is likely not on the tenant's allowlist or the required VPN is not connected (HTTP 403)
Finxact's edge is refusing the connection before authentication runs. Confirm the Monad worker's egress IP is allowlisted at the tenant and that any required VPN is connected. See Networking.
No records returned despite recent scheduled-process failures
The initial backfill window may be too narrow. Set Backfill Start Time further back on the first sync, or verify recent activity in the Finxact Console's error-log view. Note that errDtm — not wall-clock time — drives the cursor, so records with an errDtm earlier than the initial window are skipped.
finxact 429 or repeated finxact 5xx errors
Retryable — the input surfaces these so the framework retries on the next scheduled run. Persistent 429s indicate the tenant's contracted throughput is being exceeded; lower Page Size or reduce sync frequency, or coordinate an increase with your Finxact account team.
